RE: Another vellum question
Hi Camden, It's odd that you asked this question today since last night I tested Clear Print 1000 vellum. Unfortunately, it seems to be nearly opaque to UV light. A one hour exposure only produced minimal density with traditional cyanotype. Perhaps a more powerful UV source would work more effectively. I was interested in using Clear Print since negatives printed on it have a large dot gain producing a very soft looking image. It does make an interesting inkjet print though, used with a RIP for B&W printing or just color using the printer driver might yield a unique look.

How about a high quality vellum that would make a good digital negative substrate? I'm looking for something that prints well on an inkjet printer, but is transparent enough to act as a negative.
